PS4 Keyboard Typing Issues

I seem to be having issues with a keyboard on the PS4. This applies to usb, and bluetooth keyboards alike. I've tried high end keyboards, i've tried low end, i've tried apple keyboards, all have the same result.

And that is, when I type, there seems to be a delay. I type 125 words per minute, and when I type on the PS4, it constantly misses characters or ignores spacebar presses.

This is only on the PS4 (and ps3 too I guess). Like, if I type "/l4 hey guys whats up" what usually shows up is "4hey guys whats up" - again this is bluetooth and wired both. Same problems.


Anyone else have keyboard input issues? There seems to be no actual keyboard latency, when I'm using WASD keyboard controls it's 1:1 instant response. I have no movement lag, its only typing lag.

I have this too, I find that when I finish typing too and press W to move my character forward, my character is motionless for a second then starts moving.

It almost feels like there's a delay in game from switching between chatbox and ingame input.

I'm using a wired USB keyboard.

I have the same problem as the op. I used the same keyboard on ps3 and didn't have the problem.

It always picks up my first key stroke, which is a slash. So I think I'm typing "/fc" for example, but it will end up being either "/f" or "/c". This is incredibly frustrating when typing long sentences, or even trying to ask for a ballad mid fight.

i use the bt logitech k810 keyboard... it works great. it has 3 profiles quick switch buttons where you can changed to one of the 3 electronics you paired to with a press of button.

This happens on my PS3 as well. Not all the time, maybe 1 out of 4 times (on the marketplace for sure).

Was this Ninja fixed? I haven't had the issue since a couple days after my last post here.

No it's just inconsistencies. For example i've been having the same problems as everyone else. then magically for 4 days in a row i was able to play as i normally did. Now tonight it's back to messing up again with lag, 90k, and 2002 error. Don't put too much faith in the fact that it's working now. it could easily drop you again just that fast like i did me. No one has a answer even if they think they do. Some say oh, connect to wired it worked for me. If thats the case why has it been working wirelessly so fine for all these months till just now? point proven. Why did it work for me seamlessly for 4 days in a row on a wireless connection? Why does it now decide to mess up.

I don't know what's going on but i'm gonna go ahead and cancel my service account and go back to DC universe online.

I can confirm the problem. Whenever I type '/sit' on my wireless keyboard it registers as '/it'. Couldn't work out what I was doing wrong until I saw this thread and realised: nothing.

Yep you're right it creeped back in yesterday evening.

But this thread was moved to "Being Addressed/Currently Reviewing" shortly after it's creation. So I gotta believe the devs know about it and are working to fix it.

It seems to be getting worse these days. My controller is starting to rubber band inputs as well.

Unresolved still

My keyboard does the same and occasionally my ps4 control sticks/double presses
P.s my keyboard is fine on ps4 browser/ps3 version /and PC just don't work on arr for ps4

Just started playing on PS4 after a long time on PC, and this is really quite noticeable and annoying... I can't even communicate in dungeons, the lag is so bad I can't type a single thing in instances. :/ Outside, it's bearable, but still crippling.

I've had this problem since launch.... I thought it was just me but I'm glad it isn't. Today was just not a good day to chat.... I'm tired of this crap really.... I can't even type out "HG" today and nearly killed the MT. It takes me a long time to type and make sure things make sense

Just bumping this so that SE knows it still happens. Hate making new threads

Yeah I just switched to ps4 and when your in an instance and something has to be said then and this happens (90% of the time it's awful. I'm also having issue with hot bar cycling. I removed all ways to change hot bar from keybinds. Yet on the ps4 if I press 0 & 1 on the number pad at the same time it changes my 1 hotbar down to 10. And there is no way to change it back without using my mouse and clicking the arrow. Yes I have quadruple checked that my key binds for hot bar cycling are removed

Yeeaaahh... Played on the ps3 with a Logitech Bluetooth with no problems and then switched to the ps4 (with the same Logitech Bluetooth keyboard) and all my lag issues began! It would hit sponatanously too like I would be suddenly struck dumb or something. It is soooo frustrating!!! I returned to the game are a month's absence and had no issues for 2 weeks. I thought the problem had been taken care of. Silly me. I got on today, updated the game and haven't been able to type a coherent word all day on the game.

I have tried 3 bluetooth keyboards, and have this same problem. Some days it will work fine, or it will be fine for 20 minutes or so, and then I have to type one letter at a time with a 15 second pause, and even then it doesn't pick up everything I type (or it types 3 of the same letter). Pretty frustrating.

Same issue here. I wonder if it's a PS4 issue? I haven't tried typing in other games, but I know the PS4's bluetooth is kind of finicky and strange.

I've never had control input lag from the controller; even on remote play. But there's consistently a solid 1-2 second delay when typing with my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard. I sit 17 feet away from my PS4 (hooray for a 70" TV though!), so I haven't tried a wired keyboard. I guess, being new to the game; it hasn't bothered me too much. Like OP I type in excess of 120 wpm, and so I have to intentionally slow-up my typing when in FFXIV. I use the controller to play and the keyboard to chat or type commands.

It sure is frustrating; but even more frustrating to discover this is a year-old issue that seems to be plaguing a number of players. I play on PC as well and don't have the issue. (And I play with a controller/keyboard combo on PC for consistencies sake!)

I used my wireless Logitech keyboard with FFXIV on my ps4 without any problems until recently, about the same time as the patch, and the exact same problems as above are happening. Somethng changed to cause this, perhaps 2.4 related.

I know how old this post is but I had the same problem and found it was my PS4 USB port. One of my ports lags really bad it doesn't matter what game I can not charge controllers or use a headset in it. I bought a USB HUB and put it in my other port and I have no issues. I use a cheap wireless keyboard, mouse, and headset on the hub without an issue.

Just bumping this post. Using a keyboard with PS4 still has massive problems, please fix this. It is OK about 20% of the time, misses 1/4 of the letters 40% of the time, only types one letter every 15 seconds 30% of the time, and types absolutely nothing at all 10% of the time. When keyboard fails, I am forced to resort to snail typing with the controller. Makes it very difficult to consistently communicate with other players, to the point that I frequently avoid/ignore or just reply with one word answers. Makes me wish I had it on PC, real bad.

+1 with this issue with my bluetooth keyboard

I have also been having the same issue on my PS4 keyboard, I thought it was my keyboard but since reading so many other people are having the same problem I know its not, it is very frustrating because it doesnt type 90% of ur letters, and u can type faster using the on screen keyboard ... just one thing thats turned to crap on my ps4 atm... seems like its failing

Yup, still happening. I thought I was just failing to type correctly on a new keyboard for the longest time... Though, I will say, this lag has provided some amusement in dungeons with random people.

Still happening. I really hope this gets fixed by Hward.

nooope, still happening. I'll add that when 14 is running, the chat delay seems to affect all other programs on PC

If you're using Bluetooth to connect directly from the keyboard to the PS4, it might seem more convenient than using one of the (only) two available USB outlets... but that's where I had so many problems, and they went away after going to a wireless USB. Someone had said the effective operating range was a lot shorter when pairing a Bluetooth keyboard and the system directly, leading to info not being sent/received... and based on the results I had before/after the switch, I'd say they were onto something.

This is the only game I have issues with my wireless KB on PS4 while typing. It's REALLY annoying when you are trying to point something out in raids etc just to realize nothing is coming out if u hit the key. Or then u press something once but it comes out like this "Hey gggggggggguysss wwhatsss uuuuuuuupppp++?". Typing with a controller aint really an option.. At least for me.

It is April 2nd, 2017, and I just switched from PC to PS4. I am experience noticeable lag on two wired keyboards (one low-end, one a high-end gaming specialty keyboard), and REALLY bad lag on the wireless keyboard (low end keyboard/mouse combo). Slight delay on the mouse clicks (different wireless mouse), but no delay on the mouse pointer that I can see. No sticking or skipping of keystrokes, it's just about a quarter second delay. Since I can't think of any situations where timed jumping is critical to game play, this probably won't be a game breaker. I might be a split second too late on those dang pots in Palace of the Dead to stop their flash attack, but for the most part, it's an annoyance I wouldn't expect to put up with, but I can live with it.
If it gets worse and the lag mimics the wireless control, or the pointer starts having lag, then that'll definitely affect game play. But for now, onto the Palace. Scripture tomes ain't gonna farm themselves...

Okay! Update... So, inside POTD, the lag is down to either a tenth-ish of a second, or non-existent. So, that makes me a very happy camper.
This is with the high-end gaming USB wired keyboard.

I have always had this problem and it's continuing.

Key stroks are occasionally not appearing. I've ot been able to identify a pattern - it sems random. My messages appear like this and I look illiterate.
